Problems taxiing into the runway
I have a questions for pilots : When you enter the runway for take off from the taxiway and line up, is it difficult to control the aircraft making this turn? If you miss the center line, does it take much runway lenght to re-center the aircraft? Can you use power back? Do you sometimes have to exit the runway and start again? Do such problems happen often?

CAPTAINS DO NOT need to realign the aircraft on the centre-line. THAT is what COMMAND is all about. Effos think that they "know" but then that has been their opinion from day one. They must wait their turn, in spite of what thet they THINK they know.

When the B777 came out a few years ago we had to get used to taxiing because the nosewheel was so far back from the cockpit compared to normal. As a result of this extra tarmac is used to compensate for this.
On the 777-300 cameras are used to help with lining-up as well as it is the longest aircraft in the world, they are very useful!
Now, to taxi-back (not that I ever have to) you can use reverse thrust. The boring pilots only use this to aid slowing at landing, bt the more adventurous of us use it for pushback as well!
